Dough

Mix flour, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Heat the milk to ~37C (98F) and mix with quark (curd cheese), egg, warm butter, and the most important ingredient: saffron. Knead the dough and let it then rise for 45-60 mins in a warm spot.

When the dough has risen, knead it some more and then make the buns. There are several types of Lussebullar but I like the traditional S-form with swirly ends the most. Check out our YouTube video for how to form the buns. When you’re done, let them rise for another 30 mins.

Garnish

1 egg
Raisins

Set your oven to 250C (475F) and brush the buns with egg. In the middle of each “swirl” put one or more raisins and then bake for about 10 mins.
